Why does my bunny not like my husband?

[audrinasmommy88]

I have recently noticed that my bunny seems to not like my husband, or anyone for that matter...except me. She will come to me, she will let me love on her, pet her...anything. She loves coming out of her hutch, when i walk past it she comes to the door and stands up for me to let her out. When I open the door she jets out and rubs her chin all over me. But if my husband goes to the hutch or opens the door she will not come out unless im there or he walks away. He wants so bad to be able to pet her and love on her but when he tries she stomps her feet and grunts at him. Why does she do this? Does she not like him? Is she only bonded to me? How can I help my husband be able to touch her and have fun with her too? I just dont understand???:?

Sounds like she's bonded to you You can try to encourage a bond with your husband with food, stick sprigs of parsley and mint on him and have him sit on the floor and read/laptop basically ignore her. He might grow on her.

Samson tolerates me, but loves my husband No rhyme or reason it it really.

She will take food and treats from him all day...as long as he does it through the hutch door. She wont take it if shes out. He has sat down in the floor and tried to hand her treats and food and she sniffs it and then stomps her feet and runs. Sometimes I think its a game to her...i dont know.

Have him wear an old shirt all day and then leave it in her pen the next day, maybe she'll get used to his scent that way?
